How can I open an AVI encoded with a hardware-based codec if I don have the video capture/encoding hardware installed on my computer?
Visit the web site of the video hardware manufacturer and see if they have a software version of the codec. If that’s not the case try searching at the following web sites: MJPEG codec: Pegasus Imaging – http://www.pegasusimaging.com DV codec: MainConcept – http://www.mainconcept.com Source for video codec and pixel format information: FOURCC.org – http://www.fourcc.
